I do pity you, ita. It's so slow going.
So basically my take on Virgil is he was the Poor Roman version of Homer?
Willow: That's a work ethic! Buffy, you're developing a work ethic! Buffy: Do they make an ointment for that?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Some mint, but it took a hit in the heatMine is looking less than happy but I think it will spring back with some water and the temperature drop off we are expecting.
I would say that/beg/ask nicely for dw and Susan to send some sage my way but I really just want to get a couple new plants and try again instead. And have some Right Now so I could just do pasta for dinner.

Do you want it back, or should I just Bookcrossing it on?
I'd normally say Bookcross it on, except my school librarian mentioned wanting to read it. Would you mind sending it to her?
Not at all -- if you can e-mail me her address (or I can send it to her c/o the school), I'll send it this week.

DAMN. Grey's Anatomy is at 10:00 on Sundays which means I'll be tivoing it to watch on Mondays since that's past my new bed time.
Also, Everwood on Thursdays is sort of sucky.

Maybe it's the cutie pie Beetles that are the problem.
This is true. I concede this point. Just out of curiosity, was yours made in Mexico?
I bet I can get you a deal.
Whoo hoo! I love the internet. And my internet buds. I've got Perkins offering me mothership discounts and I have someone on LJ who it seems knows someone at VW corporate and is gonna hook me up with some customer service people.
Guess I don't need to buy that www.VWbrokemyheart.com URL now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Bradley Cooper who I love in spite of myself!
There's no in spite!
Which reminds me -- you haven't seen Wedding Crashers yet, have you?
Just out of curiosity, was yours made in Mexico?
I do not know. I wonder if Google will tell me...

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Hell, I can get you a t-shirt that says "I visited the mother ship".
Not that I have one or anything.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Virgil was the Octavian-publicist version of Homer. He's all about the "Well, okay, the Greeks were wicked cool, but we're, you know, we ARE Greeks, only way more evolved and cooler and god-ordained. Like, we even have more to the story that the Greeks thought ended with Odysseus in Ithaka."
Basically, Virgil was Karl Rove, and the Aeneid was his campaign commercial.

I think Wedding Crashers might be on my list for this week some time, like if I need to chill and remind myself that my life isn't entirely broken yet.
Also, the strassbourg sock? NOT WORKING. I think I need to buy a night splint. (not related, clearly).
